Thermal Stresses in Beams

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Solid Mechanics and Its Applications ((SMIA,volume 197))

Abstract

In this chapter, based on the Bernoulli-Euler hypothesis, thermal stresses in beams subjected to thermal and mechanical loads are recalled. Thermal stresses in composite and curved beams, and thermal deflections in beams subjected to a symmetrical thermal load are treated. Furthermore, solutions for stresses in curved beams are included. Problems and solutions for beams subjected to various temperature field or various boundary conditions are presented. [see also Chap. 23.]

Notes

  1. 1.

    The plane which is perpendicular to the neutral axis before deformation remains plane and perpendicular to the neutral axis after deformation.

  3. 3.

    The Castigliano theorem: The displacement \(\delta _{P_i}\) of the point where the load \( P_i\) is applied in the direction of the load is given by the partial derivative of the strain energy \(U(P_0, P_1, P_2, ... )\) with respect to the load \( P_i\).
